Our Business and Management BA (Hons) course scored 94% for teaching in the National Student Survey 2023.
In your first year, you’ll gain solid grounding in all aspects of business and management.

Choose from business and management, human resource management, entrepreneurship & innovation, digital business and business law.
On the Business and Management stream you will develop your live project management skills exploring alternative approaches to planning, execution, and operations, and learn how project management success can be judged. We will also challenge you to stretch your global commercial awareness with an international focus on business. In your final year you will take part in a management consultancy module, where you will have the unique opportunity to experiment in simulated consultancy exercises, before applying what you’ve learnt in a live consultancy project for a business. On successful completion of this module you will gain a nationally recognized CMI qualification in Professional Consultancy.
